I don't think he is that explosive or a consistent enough pass rusher.

IMO, he's a blitzer, not a pass rusher

I'd suggest watching his highlights from 2011 and 2012. He rushes off the edge quickly and gets pressure consistently. 2 Time Consensus All-American and 2 Time First Team All-SEC. Has 26 total sacks for the 2011 and 2012 season combined earning 13.5 each year. Rated as the highest highest defensive player overall and was projected to be a top 3 overall pick in the upcoming 2013 NFL Draft prior to medical concerns.

I don't agree on top 3 or that he's a great pass rusher. And I don't care at all about stats

Give me your eyes so i could see..we must not be watchin the same player, this guy was almost incredible and fast into the backfield making plays and sacks. But your entitled to your own mayock type assertions

1) You are ignoring his injury as if it doesn't matter. It does. In fact, it isn't an "injury" at all it is a condition that will not improve and is potentially very, very dangerous to play with. That condititon is more serious than the 1 that caused Da'quan Bowers epic fall in the draft, and he was considered a top overall pick candidate prior to his downfall. I know a doctor, paid by Jarvis has suddenly proclaimed "he is spinal stenosis free! halleluja!"But do you seriously think USC would kick this kid off the team if they weren't sure? Stenosis is an easily identifiable condition by use of X-Ray and MRI.

2) Even if you take his condition/injury completely out of the mix, you simply cannot ignore his pro day where his workout literally athletically ranked him in the very bottom of this year's linebacking class. HIs 4.9 40 and his abysmal explosion numbers.

I am not saying he isn't a good football player. He is, you dont get those type numbers in the SEC without knowing how to play. But, the 2 issues I list above are easily big enough reasons not to consider this kid a 1st rounder. The 1st reason alone is enough. When it was 1st reported, there were serious concerns that this kid may not even be able to pass an NFL physical. Think about the potential for legal trouble if a team were to pass him on the physical, only to have him get a serious spinal injury.

If he is there, I would want to take him unless Cooper, Warmack or Tavon Austin are there.

they won't draft a WR there unless we somehow lose Cruz between now and Friday. And even then I don't think they'd pull the trigger on a receiver in the First.

Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013 & 2014 was a losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-

# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:

1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Denver, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2015 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!
